Securitize, a leading asset tokenization platform, has introduced a cutting-edge blockchain interoperability solution in collaboration with Wormhole, enabling seamless cross-network transfers for institutional tokenized funds.
Securitize Collaborates with Wormhole for Enhanced Multichain Fund Management
This innovative integration now allows funds tokenized on Securitize’s platform to move effortlessly across multiple networks, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Ethereum, Optimism’s OP Mainnet, and Polygon. Securitize has chosen Wormhole as the exclusive interoperability layer for its esteemed clients, which include industry giants like Blackrock, KKR, and Hamilton Lane.
One notable example is Blackrock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), which was launched in March 2024 and currently boasts $642 million in assets under management (AUM) as of Jan. 27, 2025. This strategic deployment aims to cater to the increasing institutional demand for multichain flexibility, empowering investors to seamlessly transfer tokenized assets across networks while upholding compliance and security standards.
According to a recent announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News, the integration of Wormhole’s messaging protocol with Securitize’s smart contracts enables tailored solutions to meet specific fund requirements. This setup facilitates instant transfers, on-chain dividend distributions, and enhanced custody flexibility. Robinson Burkey, co-founder of Wormhole Foundation, highlighted the significance of this collaboration in response to the growing institutional interest in on-chain asset mobility.
Carlos Domingo, the CEO of Securitize, emphasized the pivotal role of this partnership in expanding access to tokenized assets. “This collaboration allows our clients’ tokenized assets, such as Blackrock’s BUIDL, to seamlessly scale across various networks, thereby enhancing accessibility and liquidity for investors,” Domingo stated on Tuesday.
This strategic move aligns with the broader industry trend of bridging traditional finance with decentralized networks. Securitize currently manages tokenized assets exceeding $1.5 billion, with Wormhole’s robust infrastructure poised to support the future growth of cross-chain institutional products.
